Re: PATCH: make java.awt.Font.equals tolerant of null fromgetTransform

["Scott Gilbertson" <scottg at mantatest dot com>]

Um, I'm not entirely sure, not having looked at Sun's code.  So I ran a
test, calling getTransform for a font in use in  an existing AWT program.
It returns an identity transform.  Sun's FontPeer doesn't seem to have a
getTransform method, so I guess the transform is contained only in the Font
class.

It looks like I should modify Font.getTransform instead, to return an
identity transform if the peer returns null.  That would be more like Sun,
according to the afforementioned test results.

Coding now...
